    1989 Toyota Corolla engine swap / conversion help

    Has anyone attempted to go from a 4af engine to a 4afe engine swap ? I bought a 90 corolla sr5 as a parts car for the engine and tranny since my tranny was having issues. So i pulled the engine and tranny together out of the 89 that has the carb motor the 4af -- I want to put the 4afe in it. I pulled the engine and inside harness out of both , knowing i would need the 90 ecu , and also since i was going to an overdrive trans would need the 90 harness.. I also plan on using the front clip off the 90 sr5 with the flip up lights ( should be a nice conversion when done ) Does anyone know where i can find harness wiring color diagrams online ? The problem im running into is the colors are different from the 89 4 dr to the 90 sr5 coupe. I need to use my old speedo and the plugs all seem to be so different. It seems that it would be easiest to cut into my old harness and just use the 90 harness and add the speedo cluster clips along with a few other things that are diffrent. My other option would be to just use the 90 tranny and motor , and just put my carb mainfold on the 90 motor. However i havent pulled it yet to see if there was any difference. Also not sure if the axles are different either , and then there is the overdrive. Any suggestions ? Also does the 1990 corolla 4 dr have the 4af or 4afe in it ? Might be easier to find a 90 hrnes off a 4 dr if its available as fuel injected.. I also have an almost complete 1990 sr5 - so if u need any parts let me know - i will ship and take pay pal payment. please e-mail: hippiegroove@hotmail.com Include what you need , and a pic if possible
